This day in music history.

September 20, 1970, In Miami, Jim Morrison was found not guilty of lewd behavior but guilty of indecent exposure and profanity. The arrest stemmed from a local concert where an intoxicated Jim simulated fellatio on Krieger as he played. Jim then went into a speech blasting the audience for being there for all the wrong reasons, he assumed what they really wanted was to see his penis so he showed them. The concert hall floor was littered with discarded clothes at the end of the concert.
Highlights of Jims speech that night...
I'm not talkin bout no revolution! I'm not talkin bout no demonstration! I'm talkin bout LOVE, LOVE,LOVE!
Why don't about fifty of you come up here and LOVE my ass!
You're all a bunch of fuckin' idiots. Letting people tell you what you're gonna do.
Let people push you around. (...) Maybe you love it. Maybe you like being pushed around.
Maybe you love getting your face stuck in the shit.
Your all a bunch of slaves! What are you gonna do about it!
DLAK note: Some people contend that Morrison only pretended to show his penis, I'd like to think he did.
